1 hr. riveting in the end rib and routing the wire.

Used two ties to tie the wire bundle up, just to make sure it doesn't easily come lose.

And it's riveted on.  I tried putting the tip in but it wouldn't stay without the missing tip skin in place.  I'll try again tomorrow since it would be good to have that in place by the time I get the piece.  Then I would just need to file down the trailing edge that goes under the skin to get the skin to lay flat.

NEXT TASKS:
  1. Wing tip assembly and light installation.
  2. Test fit of aileron and flap, with likely adjustment of the aileron to line up the trailing edges.
  3. Fill rivets (use filler this time and try the factory recommended method of filling the rivets).
  4. Rivet the one on the left wing's step rib that needs special handling (waiting to hear back from the factory on what to do with that hole).
  5. Finish one of the composite tips of the elevator.
  6. Fill rivets of elevator.
  7. START ON FUSELAGE!
